plans/ngc104-test.txt is the ACP observing plan for the free 30-minute proof run on T33: NGC 104 / 47 Tucanae, L 4x120s + RGB 2x90s at Bin2 (~17 min exposure, ~24 min with overhead), modelled on the account's previous one-click plan format (decimal-hours RA, decimal-degrees dec, #shutdown at end). Already uploaded to the scope's /plans/qisback/ folder and verified to round-trip byte-identical. plans/README.md is the runbook: the T33 ACP endpoint map (status JSON, console read, scope connect, plan upload/run, logs), the verified upload procedure, the not-yet-exercised acquire POST with its Windows-path plan value, the 47 Tuc run window (second half of the SSO night, ~14:00-19:30 UTC), and the step-by-step session procedure including the open questions a first live run must answer (scope-connect requirement, abort control). state/TODO.md tracks the test as in progress. |

Reference and review of the iTelescope.net remote telescope network: every telescope, its specs, what it is good at, and which one to book for a given target.
- TELESCOPES.md: the full review, grouped by observatory, with a "choosing a telescope" guide at the end.
- TARGETS.md: southern-sky targets invisible from the UK, matched to scopes and to the time of year to book them.
- data/itelescope-telescopes.csv: snapshot of the network's maintained specs sheet (source of truth for the numbers).
- state/: project state under the Default Workflow.
Sources: the iTelescope support article (telescope summary) and the network's maintained Google Sheet. The launchpad at go.itelescope.net is login-only.
